1.INTRODUCTION

1.1 Meaning

Working Capital Management is significant in financial management due to the fact that it plays a vital role in keeping the wheel of the business running. Every business requires capital, without which it cannot be prompted. It holds exceptional importance in the case of a manufacturing company. This study is undertaken to find out the efficiency and effectiveness of the working capital management in the company and to provide useful feedbacks.

Apollo Tyres Ltd. is one of the largest tyre manufacturing companies across the world. The company started its production of tyres way back in the year 1977, it holds the 2nd position in and 14th position in the world. The company currently has 9 plants in India, South Africa and Zimbabwe. Apollo Tyres exports its products to Africa, the Middle East, South America, Asia-Pacific and Europe.

This Project Titled ‘A Study On Working Capital Management At Apollo Tyres Ltd.’ is a deliberate and systematic endeavor to study the working capital management system in the Indian tyre giant.

Under this study, analysis has been done for the last five years from 2011-2012 to 2015-2016. Various secondary sources like annual report of the company, journals, theoretical text, publications in web, financial inputs from the management staff etc. were utilized to undertake the study. The study is mostly made from the financial analysis tools like ratio analysis, cash conversion cycle, schedule of changes in working capital position etc. The limitation may reflect in the result of this study also.

NEW HORIZON COLLEGE Page 1

The study tries to compare the working capital management in the company and other competitors in Indian market to know the efficiency and shortcomings of the system. Analysis has been done by comparing the industrial ratio with the ratios recorded by the company. This project also tries to study about the components in the current asset to know the level of consistency over the years.

From the study it is clear that the overall working capital management system is very efficient paring few drawbacks. The company showed high consistency in most of the areas of working capital and also met the industrial average and even surpassed them in some cases. It is found that the company’s performance in some areas is commendable and in few area require more attention.

The company should rectify the shortcomings in its working capital management system with utmost care to achieve global standards and thereby becoming Benchmark Company in this particular sector.

1.2 THEOROTICAL CONCEPTS

Working capital is a financial metric which represents operating liquidity available to a business, organization or other entity, including government entry. Along with fixed assets, working capital is considered a part of operating capital. Gross working capital equals to current assets. Working capital is calculated as current assets minus current liabilities. If current assets are less than current liabilities, an entity has a working capital deficiency, also called a working capital deficit.

A company can be endowed with assets and profitability but short of liquidity if its assets cannot readily be converted into cash. The management of

NEW HORIZON COLLEGE Page 2

Working capital management Apollo Tyres Ltd working capital involves managing inventories, accounts receivable payables, and cash.

Decisions relating to working capital and short-term financing are referred to as working capital management. These involves managing the relationship between a firm’s short-term assets and its short-term liabilities. The goal of working capital management is to ensure that the firm is able to continue its operations and that it has sufficient cash flow to satisfy both maturing short- term debt and upcoming operational expenses.

1.2.1 AIMS OF WORKING CAPITAL MAANGEMENTS

1. The goal of WCM is to manage firm’s current assets and current liabilities in such a way that a satisfactory level of working capital is maintained to meet the short term obligations as and when they arise.

2. A significant objective of WCM is to ensure short term liquidity and to see that probability is not affected by the way the current assets and current liability is managed.

3. The main theme of WCM is the interaction between the current assets and current liabilities and arrive at the optimum level of both.

4. Tradeoff between profitability and risk: In evaluating a firm’s NWC position, an important consideration us the tradeoff between probability and risk. The risk of becoming technically insolvent is measure by assuming greater the amount of NWC, less risk prone the firm is. Or, the greater the NWC, greater the liquidity of the firm and therefore, less likely it is to be insolvent. Covertly lower levels of NWC and liquidity are associated with increasing levels of risk. The relation between liquidity, NWC and risk is such that if either NWC or liquidity increases, the firm decreases.

NEW HORIZON COLLEGE Page 3

Working capital management Apollo Tyres Ltd

5. Apart from the profitability, risk-tradeoff, another important ingredient of the theory of working capital management is determining the financing mix. Financing mix refers to the proportion of current asset that would be financed by current liability and by long term resources.

6. Tradeoff: If a firm wants to increase its profit, it must also increase its risk inversely, if it decreases risk, its profitability too tends to decreases. The tradeoff between the variables is that regardless of how the firm increases its profitability through the manipulation of working capital, the consequence is a corresponding increase in risk as measured by the level of net working capital.

1.2.2 CONCEPTS OF WORKING CAPITAL

There are two concepts of working capital,

 Gross Working Capital: According to this concept gross working capital refers to the company’s outlay in current assets. Current assets are those assets which can be transformed into cash during an accounting period and comprise cash, short-term securities, receivable, loan & advance and inventory.  Net Working Capital: According to this concept, net working capital refers to the difference between current assets and liabilities. Current liabilities are those claims of outsiders, which are likely to be paid with in a financial year and usually comprise creditors, bills payable, bank loans and outstanding expenditures. NWC may be positive or negative. When the current assets are in excess of current liabilities the positive working capital arise and when current liabilities are in excess of current assets negative working capital arises

Net Working capital= Current Assets – Current Liabilities

1.2.3 IMPORTANCE OR ADVANTAGES OF ADEQUATE WORKING CAPITAL

The importance and advantages of adequate working capital are as follows

 Solvency of the company: Efficient working capital helps in solvency of the company by continuous flow of production.

 Reputation: Adequate working capital enables a company to disburse timely payments and therefore, helps in creating and keeping reputation.  Unproblematic loans: Company having sufficient working capital, high solvency and excellent credit position is able to get loans from banks and other sources on friendly and constructive terms.  Cash discounts: Adequate working capital further more enables a company to get benefit of cash discounts therefore, it reduces costs.  Uninterrupted delivery of raw material: Adequate working capital assures uninterrupted receipt of raw material.  Uninterrupted disbursement of salaries wages and other day-to- day obligations: A company which has sufficient working capital will be able to make disbursement of salaries, wages and other obligations which raise the spirit of its employees, increase effectiveness, decrease wastage, saves cost and increase profit.  Utilization of positive market conditions: A company which has sufficient working capital can utilize positive market situations such as procuring its necessities of material in bulk when the price are low and by holding its inventories for privileged prices.  Capability to face crisis: Sufficient working capital makes a company able to face business crisis in emergencies such as depression for the

NEW HORIZON COLLEGE Page 5

Working capital management Apollo Tyres Ltd

reason that during such periods, generally, there is much burden on working capital.  Sky-scrapping morale: Sufficiency of working capital makes an

atmosphere of safety, confidence, high morale and creativeness in a

company, on the whole.

1.2.4 DISADVANTAGES OF EXCESSIVE WORKING CAPITAL

Every company ought to have sufficient working capital to operate its business activities. It ought to contain neither redundant nor insufficient working capital. However, out of the two, it is the insufficiency of working capital, which is more hazardous from the point of view of the company.

 When there is an excessive working capital it possibly will lead to the needless procurement and buildup of inventory attracting more probability of burglary, waste losses.  Redundant working capital implies too much debtors and faulty credit practices which may create elevated occurrence of bad debts.  It may lead to incompetency of the company, as a whole.  Owing to less rate of return on funds the worth of shares may as well decrease.  The excessive working capital may raise speculative transactions.

1.3 APPROACHES TO MANAGING WORKING CAPITAL

Two approaches are normally adopted by the companies for the management of working capital:

 Conventional Approach: According to this approach the individual constituent of working capital should be managed competently and cost- effectively as a result of which there are neither redundant sources nor scarcity of sources. Generally much importance is prepared to the management of receivables since these normally comprise the major chunk of the outlay in working capital.Operating Cycle Approach: According to this approach working capital is viewed as a function of the quantity of operational expenditure. As per this approach the working capital is ascertained by the period of the operating cycle and the operating expenditure required for finishing the cycle. The period of the operating cycle is the number of days consumed at different levels, beginning with acquiring of raw materials to the receipt of money from debtors.

Most of the companies usually go after the conventional approach previously, but in these days the practice is changing in favor of the operating cycle approach. The banks generally use this approach whilst giving credit services to their customers.

1.4 TYPES OF WORKING CAPITAL

The working capital can be classified into two:

1. Fixed working capital

2. Fluctuating working capital

NEW HORIZON COLLEGE Page 7

Working capital management Apollo Tyres Ltd

 Fixed working capital

The necessity for current assets is connected with the operating cycle, which is an uninterrupted course of action. As such, the requirement for current assets on the other hand may not all the time be same. However, there is a definite minimum level of current all the time, which is necessary for the company to maintain in its business irrespective of the level of business activities. This is the fixed minimum level necessary for keeping the flow of the current assets. This minimum level of investment is everlastingly blocked up in business and is for that reason called as permanent or fixed or regular working capital.

 Fluctuating working capital:

Requirement for working capital, over and above the fixed working capital, will rise and fall in relation to variations in production and sales of the company. The requirement for working capital may also differ on account of cyclic variations, irregular and unexpected situations. AN increase in the price possibly will lead to an increase in the volume of funds invested in stock of raw materials in addition to finished products.

Extra quantum of working capital may possibly be needed to face aggressive contest in the market or other emergencies like strikes and lockouts. The additional working capital required to face the fluctuating business activities is called fluctuating or variable working capital.

1.5 PRINCIPLES OF WORKING CAPITAL

 Principle of Risk Variation: This principle assures that a relation exists between the degree of risk that the firm assumes and the rate of return i.e. the more risk assumed, the greater is the opportunity for gain and loss.  Principle of Equity Position: According to this principle the amount of working capital invested in each component should be adequately

NEW HORIZON COLLEGE Page 8

Working capital management Apollo Tyres Ltd

justified by a firm’s equity position. Every rupee invested in working capital should contribute to the net worth of the firm.  Principle of Cost of Capital: This principle emphasizes that different sources of finance have different cost of capital. It should be remembered that the cost of capital moves inversely with risk. Thus, additional risk capital results in decline in the cost of capital.  Principle of Circulation: In a genuine management of working capital, the cycle of working capital should be minimum. In other words, the circulation of working capital should be minimum period. The shorter the period of circulation, the more peculiar is the management of working capital.  Principle of Liquidity: In determination of firm’s liquidity the proportion of net working capital and liquid funds play a more important role than that of inventory.  Principle of Maturity of Payment: The grater the disparities between the maturities of firm’s short term debt investment and its flow of internally generated funds, greater the risk and vice versa.  Principle of Adequacy: Firm’s which manage adequate working capital, always earn higher profit than the firms, which fail to manage adequate working capital.

NEW HORIZON COLLEGE Page 9

Working capital management Apollo Tyres Ltd

1.6 METHODS OF ESTIMATING WORKING

CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

 Percentage of Sale Method: This method of estimating working capital requirement is based on the assumption that the level of working capital for any firm is directly related to its sales value. If past experiences indicates a stable relationship between the sales and working capital, then this basis may be used to determine the requirement of working capital forfuture.Regression Analysis Method: This method of forecasting working capital requirement is based upon the statistical technique of estimating or predicting the unknown value of a dependent variable from the known value of an independent variable. It is the measure of the average relationship between two or more variables, i.e.; sales and working capital, in terms of the original units of the data.  Cash Forecasting Method: This method of estimating working capital requirement involves forecasting of cash receipts and disbursements during a future period of time. Cash forecasting will include all possible sources from which cash will be received and the channels in which payments are to be made so that a consolidated cash position is determined.  Operating Cycle Method: This method of estimating working capital requirements is based upon the operating cycle concept of working capital. The cycle stars with the purchase of raw material and other resources and ends with the realization of cash from the sales of finished goods.

2. INDUSTRY AND COMPANY PROFILE

2.1 INDUSTRY PROFILE

2.1.1 HISTORY OF TYRE

The most important application of rubber relates to the transport sector of which tyre industry consumers over 60% of the total rubber produced. After the invention of wheel by Sumerians 5000 years ago it was refined over the ages. In the year 1845, R W Thompson invested the predecessor of the pneumatic tyres of the modern age. From there, the tyre industry has grown as one of the largest industries in the world. A tyre is a ring shaped vehicle component that covers the wheel’s rim to protect it and enable better vehicle performance. Most tyres, such as those for automobiles and bicycles, provide traction between the vehicle and the road while providing a flexible cushion that absorbs shock. The materials of modern pneumatic tyres are synthetic and rubber, natural rubber, fabric and wire, along with carbon black and other chemical compounds. They consist of a thread and a body. The thread provides traction while the body provides containment for a quantity of compressed air. Before rubber was developed, the first version of tyre were simply bands of metal fitted around wooden wheels to prevent wear and tear. Early rubber tyre were solid. Today the majorities of tyre are pneumatic inflatable structures, comprising dough-nut shaped body of chords and wires encased in rubber and generally filled with compressed air to form an inflatable cushion. Pneumatic tyres are used on many types of vehicles, including cars, bicycles, motor cycles,

NEW HORIZON COLLEGE Page 11

Working capital management Apollo Tyres Ltd buses, trucks, heavy equipment and aircraft. Metal tyres are still used on locomotive and railcars, and solid rubber tyres are still used in various non- automotive applications, such as some casters, carts, lawn movers. The manufacturing of automobile tyres as an ancillary for the development of automobile sector came into being in India during 1930’s when the Dunlop India Ltd. the first tyre manufacturing transactional company started its operation in1935 at Sahaganj in West Bengal.

2.1.2 INDIAN SCENARIO

The domestic tyre industry is estimated to have grown by 10%-12% during 2015-1016, supposed by 7%-7.5% growth in OEM and 12%-15% growth in the replacement segment. ICRA expects the tyre industry to report a growth of 4%-8% over the next 3 years. After recording a sequential annual decline of 5.5% during the period 2012-2015, grew by a sharp 19% in 2015-16 led primarily by surge in 2W tyres. It is expected that he rising trend of imports to continue over the near term. The anticipated spike in T&B imports in 2015-16 with the February-15 sunset of the erstwhile Anti-Dumping Duty on T&B imports is also expected to dive imports. Exports on the other hand, de-grew by 3% to 4%, especially in Africa and parts of Asia. ICRA expected 4%-5% de-growth in tyre exports from India during 2015-16. That said, the levy of preliminary ADD US on Chinese tyres may provide some opportunities for Indian tyre export scenario. The industry is currently experiencing one of the best periods recording sharp expansion in profits driven by low input costs. Crude linked derivatives such as synthetic rubber, carbon black and rubber chemicals too, despite rising traded lower in line with crude oil prices. However, it is expected that depleting NR stock and demand driven inflation to lead to higher inputs costs over the

NEW HORIZON COLLEGE Page 12

Working capital management Apollo Tyres Ltd next 12-18 months which would lead to correction in profit margins to more sustainable levels. Over the years, MRF has been the dominant player in the country by virtue of its strong product capabilities apart from focused branding efforts backed by a deep distributions network panning across India and steady exports. However, several players have challenged its market share in recent years through prudent brand management backed by sizeable investments in product development/capacities.

For the fiscal 2015-2016, the industry recorded a 6.9% YoY revenue growth 0following 5.8% growth in the preceding fiscal. With the decline in NR prices, the industry wide operating and net margins expanded by 50bs each to

14.3% and 6.4% respectively. Industry capital structure improved to 0.6X in

March 2015 while on the coverage front, interest coverage improved from 5.9x to 6.9x and total debt to OPBDITA improved from 1.9x to 1.7x for the same period under comparison.

INVENTORY TURNOVER RATIO = NET SALES CLOSING INVENTORY

g) Inventory Holding Period

It measures the average time taken for clearing the stocks. This indicates that how many days’ inventories take to convert from raw material to finished goods.

INVENTORY HOLDING PERIOD = DAYS IN A YEAR INVENTORY TURNOVER RATIO

h) Creditors/Accounts Payables Turnover Ratio

Creditor’s turnover ratio is the ratio, which indicates the number of times the debts are paid in the year.

CREDITORS TURNOVER RATIO= NET PURACHASES AVERAGE CREDITORS

NEW HORIZON COLLEGE Page 32

Working capital management Apollo Tyres Ltd

i) Creditors Repayment Period

Represents the average number of days taken by firms to repay the debts.

AVERAGE PAYMENT PERIOD= DAYS IN A YEAR CREDITORS TURNOVER RATIO

j) Debtors/Accounts Receivables Turnover Ratio Indicates the speed of debt collection of the firm. This ratio computes the number of times debtors has been turned over during the period. DEBTORS TURNOVER RATIO= NET SALES (CREDIT) AVERAGE DEBTORS

k) Debtors Collection Period

n) Net Profit Ratio It shows relationship between net profit after tax and net sales. NET PROFIT RATIO= NET PROFIT AFTER TAX NET SALES 4.2 SCHEDULE/STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN

WORKING CAPITAL

It is prepared in order to measure the increase/ in the working capital over a period of time. This schedule is prepared with the help of only current assets and current liabilities. Compare each current asset in previous year, with that in current year. Similarly, compare each current liability in the previous year with that in the current year. The decrease difference is recorded for each individual current asset and current liability. The two columns showing the changes in current assets and current liabilities are balanced. Increase in Current Assets and Decrease in Current Liabilities. The acquisition of current assets and repayment of current liabilities will result in funds out flow. The funds may be applied to finance an increase in stock, debtors etc. or to reduce trade creditors, bank overdraft etc. Decrease in Current Assets and Increase in Current Liabilities. Short term funds raised during the period by any increase in the current

NEW HORIZON COLLEGE Page 34

Working capital management Apollo Tyres Ltd liabilities like trade creditors, bank overdraft and tax dues, means that these sources have more at the end of the year than at the beginning.

4.3 TREND ANALYSIS

In trend analysis, the changes are calculated for several successive years instead of two or three years. It is based on the idea that what has happened in the past gives an idea of what will happen in the future.

One of the main goal of trend analysis is to forecast future values of the series. It allows a researcher to look at a pattern of change over a long period of time rather than at a single discrete point in time or over a short time so that better conclusion can be drawn.

Graph 4.1

Interpretation: From the graph it is clear that the working capital of the firm is showing a sudden decrease and it is on account of availing a short term loan

NEW HORIZON COLLEGE Page 36

Working capital management Apollo Tyres Ltd which has resulted in the increase of current liabilities. Significant decrease in current asset is because of decrease in value of inventories and the decrease n current liabilities is because the firm has paid back the major portion of their loan in the period 2013-2014

During 2013-14 again there is an increase in working capital and in the subsequent year there is dip in working capital and the last year 2015-16 shows an increase in working capital. Net decrease in working capital is due to the excess current liability over current assets. Hence initiatives can be strengthened reducing current liabilities and increasing current assets.
